Concrete structures, black and dense in their fluidity, are very common in all the cities where we, the artists of this research, come from. The scars on the surfaces of those cities, the cracks in their asphalt, make us reflect on our understanding of what becomes habitual for us in contrast to what we consider as natural. Can the sensual connect the urban body to its inner nature and to emotional states? On the one hand, there is the street asphalt with its maximum life span of approximately 600 years, while on the other hand there is our orgasmic time, lasting a few seconds. Taking this idea as a starting point, we explore the sensual body as a place that allows us to connect the present being with eternity of nature. The piece is based on Carrillo’s research of a new consciousness of being itself where past and present merge together.

Asphalt Bodies / Concret Cities will be made thanks to the different cultural influences that marked the artists who investigate it. They have changed their place of origin and have adapted and transformed their learned codes from different cultural and social contexts to live now in Berlin, the place of this common creation. Directed by Alexander Carrillo as artistic director and choreographer, who aims to create aesthetic dialogues with the audience for an understanding of diverse perceptions of life.
